Chapter 578: After Prince?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Ryder picked up the knife of Itsuki and kept it back in his inventory as well before he ran to the cars.

"Ah, Janus. That also leaves a problem for us," Ryder said as he stopped before the Ferrari.

"There are two cars that are registered to us temporarily. We need to return both, but more importantly, I can only drive back one. What should I do?"

"That’s for you to decide. The answer isn’t that tough," Janus replied lazily before he stopped talking.

"Should I destroy them all? Oh, wait! Inventory! I never tried it, but I should be able to carry cars in them too! That would make it so much easier when I travel to other countries. Taking my personal sports car with me. Why didn’t I think of this before?"

Pleased with his plan, Ryder kept the Ferrari of Itsuki back in the inventory.

He didn’t stop there as he walked over to the Koeinsegg of Julien. With a grin on his face, he kept that in his inventory too.

"That car is pretty good. I’ll take it on a trip later," he muttered before he walked back to the Bugatti that was blocking the road in the distance.

Getting in the car, he turned it on before he started leaving.

He didn’t even have to drive for long when he stopped again as he saw two more sports cars standing in the distance.

"These must belong to the guys that Itsuki killed. Well then, more for me, I guess," Ryder said as he opened the doors and stepped out.

He walked to the two cars and kept them in his inventory as well before he got in the Bugatti and left.

Ryder had already changed his clothes before getting in the car. He also wiped any marks of blood so that no clues were left behind.

He soon got back to the hotel and booked a flight back to Japan.

As there were no flights for the day, he got the tickets for tomorrow. It was only now when he could actually leave.

In the evening, he went to the Garage and returned the Bugatti.

"Where’s your friend? The second car?" The owner asked Ryder.

"Actually, she is sick. So I’ll bring back her car myself. So wait for a little," Ryder told the man before he left.

He walked to an empty place where he brought the Ferrari that was being used by Itsuki.

He entered the Ferrari and gave it to the man before he took a cab to go back.

He also wanted to call Alice to tell her that he was coming back tomorrow, but Janus stopped him.

"What happened?" Ryder asked, wondering why Janus had stopped him.

"There are more people left to kill. Four more before you can actually return back to your original life," Janus told Ryder.

"Why? Itsuki told me he hadn’t told anyone about me. And when I met Julien, I also understood that he hadn’t known me. He couldn’t have done anything."

" Now that the one who could’ve spread the news about me is dead, I should be able to go back," Ryder retorted, not understanding why he needed to jump in the mess that didn’t belong to him.

"You don’t understand. The news about you will only start spreading now that so many of them are dead. It won’t be long before it’s the time for the yearly meeting of God-Sons," Janus replied.

"They’ll try to get together. That’s when they will realize that the others are missing or dead. It won’t take them long to get to you. Before it’s the time of their meeting, you need to kill them all. Or it’ll be too late. You and everyone around you will be in danger," he further explained.

"Geez, you’re really no fun, are you? Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I might as well kill them all now that I started. In any case, I’ll soon have the power of three of them. I should be able to take them out easily. Tell me, where’s the next target?" Ryder asked as he got ready.

"We’ll be going to Britain," Janus replied. "The Prince of Britain is your next target."

"You want me to take out the Prince?" Ryder asked, frowning. "Do you want me to become the public enemy?"

"He isn’t the real Prince. He just created a false memory for everyone to think of him as Prince. Even the Royal Family lives in that illusion," Janus explained.

"You know he’s not real! I know he’s not real! But the people of Britain and the Royal Family don’t know, do they?! If I killed him, what are the chances they’ll believe my explanation that their Prince was a god that came on a trial on earth and that he fooled them all?" Ryder asked, squinting his eyes.

"I’ll be seen as a crazy man! Moreover, MI6, MI7, and everyone else will be after me! I’ll be a fugitive!’ he further said. "I can’t kill him!"

"Alright. Start with a different one, then. We can go back to him later," Janus said, sighing.

"Who is the next one?" Ryder asked, curious.

"Adrian in Russia," Janus explained.

"He? The bastard who tried to kidnap Alice? You don’t need to ask me to kill him. I’ll do it on my own. I had completely forgotten about him!" Ryder let out as he canceled his flight to Japan. Instead, he booked a flight to Russia. It was finally time to get to work.

He still decided to call Alice once more as he told her that he was caught in work and that he was going to take a few more weeks. He also warned her to stay in the hotel and not go out because he was soon coming back.

....

After handling everything, Ryder was lying in bed. The flight to Russia was going to be tomorrow afternoon. He had plenty of free time, and he decided to check up on how the work was going in Necrosis.

Did everyone fail the trials as per his plan, or some were still alive?

As he opened the news on his phone, he couldn’t help but smile. It was true. Everyone had failed. Moreover, his name was also being taken. Many people were saying that Hades was also interfering in the trial to make it more challenging.

Some people praised him for making the trials more interesting, while others blamed him for misusing his powers because he was jealous that the others might win.

The public opinion was split into two camps: one who loved Ryder while others who were jealous of him.

Ryder ignored the public opinion and focused on what Necrosis was going to do next. It was good that they did the trial publicly. No matter what they tried, he was going to have an idea about what they were doing.

"What the heck?"

As Ryder saw what was happening, he was stunned. Necrosis had resumed the trials, but they had switched players as per the news. Moreover, they had made the faces of the Players and their names vague so that no one could see which player was on which trial.

"Hah, I understand. It’s so that I can’t obstruct them like last time with the sketches of their specific players. When I don’t know who is doing what, I can’t tell them what to keep an eye on. Moreover, their targets will be lax after killing the players like last time," Ryder muttered, seemingly amused.

"Not bad at all. But you still underestimate me," Ryder said as he smirked.

He brought the Divinity Glasses out of his inventory and wore them.

"Take me to Divinity."

...

Ryder woke up in Divinity and approached Rale, who was in the training room with Miyali.

As he looked inside the training hall, he was amused. Miyali was much faster. Now she really seemed like the Vampire King as she was also able to fly and use other tricks that were specific to Vampires.

’But she still can’t compare to Rale. The level difference is just too big. It’s not as if I can help her level by making her hunt. Only players and beasts can do that. She’ll have to grow naturally,’ Ryder thought as he stepped inside.

As Rale saw Ryder, he stopped the battle.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Rale and Miyali both greeted Ryder at the same time.

"You may stand," Ryder replied. "Anyway, Rale. I had work from you. Come with me."

"You can go and relax a bit. You’re dismissed," Rale told Miyali as he left with Ryder.

"Rale, did you do the tasks I gave you?" Ryder asked Rale.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Rale replied. "Moreover, the kingdoms sent thanks to you. Even Vampire King thanked you for helping him keep his niece safe since she’s his only family left now."

"His only family left? You mean he doesn’t have anyone else?" Ryder asked, curious.

"He doesn’t. I did hear that he supposedly talked about having a baby somewhere in the world before," Rale answered.
